is this a true picture of the blooms of Peaches and Cream?

Today I went to 5 nurseries and each one had the healthiest looking brug, labeled Peaches and Cream (hey, Eclipse). They were huge and so healthy looking. Big and fat............. it was so tempting........... I wish I was not so room challenged! The girl was telling me the blossom looked just like the one on the betty marshall next to it.................. how big is the flower?

Kelley,
The picture is a true P&C. P&C is a Versicolor and Betty M. is a Suaveolens.

thanks Glory, I was sure she was wrong but then I thought gee she saw the bloom she must be right. The reason I was so drawn to this plant besides how fat and healthy it was (the main stem was at least 2 inchs in diameter), is the main stem was at least 4 ft tall and had not Yed. I really like the looks of the tree shaped brugs. I also like the feminine look of the versicolors more than the look of betty marshall. A pink moment!

Kelley,
I don't know about your area but every nursery I have been either calls them by their color or doesn't even know what to call them except Angel Trumpets. I have a friend that has a nursery and after all the plants I have started for her she still calls Daturas and Brugs "Trumpet Plants"....I give up.
The first Brug I bought came from a nursery in Key West FL...the girl promised me the color was solid Pink...wrong.....it ended up being frosty pink.

Glory, there's a nursery in Petal that calls them brugs. Hilda will even explain the differences to you if you ask. My Charles Grimaldi came from there and it was the first place I ever bought a brug. I sent her some rooted cuttings the other day, she was thrilled.

Cala,
At least someone around here knows what we are talking about. LOL

Betty Marshall is actually an X insignis, but has suaveolens type leaves...just thought I would mention this. I got seeds from Larry and that's how they are labelled. Also found them list on a site as X insignis with suaveolens type leaves
